Alexa from Pop Elegantiarum here with some more film curiosities. I love a great film-inspired doodle (Nathaniel's iPhonedoodles are always a treat), and Brooklyn cartoonist Nathan Gelgud doesn't disappoint in that department. These fantastic "Movie Trios" are all still available at his etsy shop!

Next in his chronology is Miou-Miou in Bertrand Biller's film Going Places, shown between her two thuggish men (Patrick Dewaere and Gérard Depardieu).

Finally, my favorite is After Hours (oh how I love Scorcese's quirky 80s noir), where Nathan draws the suicidal Rosanna Arquette between John Heard and Griffin Dunne. I like how he's placed Arquette in the middle; she really put the whole mess into motion, after all.

Nathan will also draw any custom Movie Trio that you want. So I've been thinking of other film trios I'd love to see from more recent decades. Maybe Bess, Jan and Dodo from Breaking The Waves? Ray, Ken and Harry from In Bruges?

Though it makes me turn in my "man card", the "Bridget Jones" trio (Firth, Grant and Zellwegger) is a good one.The Dark Knight's trio (Bale, Ledger, and Eckhart), maybe the Pirates of the Carribean one? or (and I'm stretching here) James Van Der Beek, Ian Somerholder, and Shannon Sossaman from The Rules of Attraction?
